Summary
Seeing him is like living again in ignorance. A time before his world became Fractured – both metaphoric and literal. Seeing him is remembering there was once a time when he thought he could be happy, where he could be happier than anyone else. Seeing him is like the clouds of his life blowing away – like everything he learned 60 years ago was a lie and he can go back to those days where nothing mattered except the sound of keys composing a new melody combined with the sounds of pencil scratching across a journal.
Seeing him is impossible, Verso thinks, because his Gustave died 60 years ago – left to a heartbreaking fate because Verso could not tell him the tragic truth of their world.
Or: Before the Fracture, Verso Dessendre and Gustave were inevitable. When their world split apart, Verso believed Gustave to have died in the aftermath. Why, then, is Gustave alive in Lumière far after his date of Gommage?
